Welcome to the second episode of the Teacher's Corner Screencast.

Teacher's Corner is a website created by a teacher (myself) for other teachers, for students and for everyone willing to learn. It provides you with interesting, captivating and sometimes entertaining lessons, tutorials and fully fledged courses on software, the internet and technology in general. I addition to that, another section of this website will offer short lessons snippets on learning English in the future.

In this episode I introduce you to LEO, an online dictionary that translates between German and English, German and French, and German and Spanish. You'll learn everything you need to know on how to handle LEO's web interface. Also, I'll cover several ways of integrating LEO with your favorite browser and with LaunchBar, a multi purpose utility for the Macintosh.

Known issues:

There are some minor flaws in this show. None of them is a showstopper, so I chose to publish the show anyway:
– Minor language flaws: If you find them: Please ignore them. If not: Never mind. ;-)
– Minor artifacts while recording. I am not quite sure why they are there, since they don't show up in the source clips I recorded with SnapZ Pro. Maybe Final Cut Pro has some compatibility issues with those source clips' format. I definitely have to look at this for the next show.
– Although the sound quality has been improved considerably compared to previous show, it is not perfect yet. The volume changes slightly from time to time.

Please join the forum and tell me what you think of this show.
